Go2 Gets Set for 2012 Olympics Holiday Rental Onslaught

Honiton, Devon (PRWEB UK) 14 July 2011

Having established its position as a provider of cottage and holiday let search and comparison in the UK, Go2 Holidays (http://www.go2-holidays.com) is seeking to build on the success of its first year by targeting the 2012 Olympic Games.

Everyone knows the best ideas are the simplest. And Go2 Holidays began with a very simple idea to bring together holiday lets and cottages from different companies, and individual owners, into one website where users could then search, compare and review them to their hearts content. It sounds obvious, and we all know its an idea which has worked well online for gas, electricity and insurance, but for some reason, its a facility which has been somewhat lacking in the holiday rental sector - in the UK at least.

After several years of frustration at having to trawl through the offerings of individual holiday company websites, jumping from one to another via a search engine, repeatedly entering the same details into each site, Ian Potts, the founder of Go2 Holidays, decided to do something about it. Go2 (http://www.go2-holidays.com) is the result. Not only does this site bring together a vast range of properties from both large self catering providers such as Hoseasons and area specialists such as Imagine Ireland, it also provides its own private listing facility in a bid to combine the best of all worlds in one place (agency-run and direct private owner properties). To cap it all off there are area guides, user reviews and even hotels to search too all presented in a clear, colourful and easy to use design.

Going on holiday is meant to be relaxing, Ian comments, but sometimes just finding the right accommodation is too much like hard work. With Go2 we simply wanted to take the stress out of the process, and give folks one place where they search and compare cottages in Newquay, for example, without the need to go jumping about from site to site. We made Go2 because we had a need for it, and I think our visitors feel the same way.

Building and maintaining a site like Go2 is a lot of work, but if its first year has been a busy one, the next twelve months look set to get busier yet! With the 2012 Olympic Games coming to London there looks set to be a run on accommodation throughout many parts of the UK, and Go2 Holidays is in a good place to cater for the demand. And with an entry in this years Good Web Guides Website of the Year award, Go2 has its gaze firmly set on a medal of its own.

Go2 Holidays launched in the middle of 2010 the fruition of an idea by its founder Ian Potts and the desire to take the stress out of finding and booking self-catering holidays. Now in its second year this South West based Search, Comparison and Review website continues to build upon its strong foundations, with an ever-increasing range of properties now over 17,000 in the UK and Ireland alone.

Strong Truck Rental and Leasing Market Driving Strong Turnout at NationaLease 67th Annual Meeting

Oakbrook Terrace, IL (PRWEB) September 15, 2011

A strong rental market and robust contract maintenance and full service leasing activity are driving high registration levels for the NationaLease 67th Annual Meeting, Sept. 18-19 in San Francisco.

When the commercial truck rental market is strong, its nearly always a valid economic indicator that the economy is on the upswing. High rental rates lead to increased interest in full-service truck leasing, noted Gene Scoggins, President, NationaLease, one of the largest full-service truck leasing organizations in North America. We think thats whats behind the substantial turnout were expecting at our Annual Meeting.

The gathering of leaders of 175 independently owned full service truck leasing companies, as well as industry experts, and representatives of the largest providers of transportation products and services in the world, takes place at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco.

Keynote speaker at the event is technology entrepreneur Scott Klososky, former CEO of three very successful startup companies. He has served as consultant to Fortune 500 companies such as Cisco, Newell Rubbermaid, Lockheed Martin and eBay. Also addressing the group is Bob Costello, Chief Economist and Vice President for the American Trucking Associations. A favorite with the national business media, Costello will give an up-to-date outlook on economic issues facing the trucking industry.

Other topics to be covered at the Annual Meeting include a remarketing outlook, a report on CNG and LNG fueled vehicles, and the top trucking issues of the day.

The agenda also comprises an industry panel and breakout sessions on the topics of driver recruitment and the future of the NationaLease organization. A trade and technology show is part of every NationaLease Annual Meeting.

For information about registering for the event, go to the NationaLease Website or contact Kate Barnes at 856-382-4701 or at kbarnes(at)nationalease(dot)com.
